Hello

I think that not writing in my blog has been one of the reasons I've been so cranky and stuff over break. Maybe not. We're about to find out.
Break has been ok. I worked only for like a week (woops) and since then I've been sleeping and getting scolded by my parents and jesus how am I going to pay for books I mean I am seriously screwed people. But aside from that, break's been good. My dad is doing some thing thats in the paper. Like they hide a medallion and give you clues as to where it is and then you find it and the prize is a big ol' flat screen TV. So he's been out hiking for the past however-many days trying to find it. The reason I'm bringing this is up is I haven't gone out to look yet. And I don't know if I should be grateful or not.

Let's see, let's see. I had a pretty good Christmas. Got some things I wanted, which is cool. Bum... yeah. Oop! There's a kitty at my feet and I didn't know it. Sorry, kitty!

Went to see Sweeney Todd and Juno within the past week. As a rule I hate going out to see movies (very little about the experience makes it better to watch), but I've been trying to work on that (Travis likes movies, after all) so yeah. Sweeney Todd. Not my favorite. Putting aside the fact that I can't stand Tim Burton movies, I just didn't like it. And I think no one can call me a 'purist' or something because it wasn't like the stage version or whatever, since I haven't seen Sweeney Todd before in any capacity. I just didn't like it. It was too loud and it felt like the entire movie was screaming "SWEENEY TODDDDDD IS INSAAAAAANEEEEE LISTEN TO THE MUSIIIICCCC". I guess all I'm trying to say is I would have preferred something not so over-dramatic. However, Alan Rickman was a pleasure to see and hear. Also, Sacha Baron Cohen was funny. I liked him, too. To conclude this review, I had no idea that people would love this movie as much as they do. I guess the thrill of seeing a musical with blood and Johnny Depp is so overwhelming and, apparently, atypical that people are just eating it up. Maybe I'm wrong. But it seems a little stupid that there's so much brouhaha over this movie. Again, that's just me. But on to bigger and better things...

... NOT! I'm here to talk about Juno. I had a hard time with this movie. I wanted to like it so bad. I really did. I know how I am with movies and I'm really quick to dismiss them at the first sign of any stupid dialogue but goddammit I tried. Juno's character was rude and stupid and I didn't like her. Not when she cried or anything. I wanted to, but they made her say such stupid shit that I could brush past all that. Micheal Cera was cute. He did the thing he usually does and that's okay. Jennifer Garner was cute too. I liked her a lot. It's just I couldn't help but watch this movie and think that it was just funny, snappy quotes to use, one after the other. I couldn't stand anything anyone said. With that out of the way, I liked the idea of the movie and stuff and at times it was pretty cute. I'm trying. But again, I don't see anything special about that movie. I'm going to say, Sweeney Todd > Juno.
I haven't seen a movie I liked in a long time so I'm just starting to get used to not liking whatever I see. This needs to change. I need to see something I like. With that said, I think I'm going to go get ready for the day. I still have some boots I got for Christmas that don't fit that I need to return (what a horrible sentence). So there. Here I go.
